I just come from watching Gus van Sant’s “Milk”. What a melodramatic, hollywoodesque soap opera was that?! Sean Penn’s acting was almost as funny as Adolf Hitler who played Bruno Ganz. If you want to see a great movie about Milk and the riots (check the first Dead Kennedys album cover!), do yourself a favor and get the documentary “The Times of Harvey Milk” by Ron Epstein instead.
While the movie was disappointing, this San Francisco band is not! but I know, this is not going to get the attention and appreciation it deserves, and I never said the world was about justice and understanding. I never really understood why some people wouldn’t enjoy (IMPATIENT) YOUTH as much as I do. The posthumous LP released on Lost & Found records a while ago is just perfect. In fact, the LP is even better than this – cause it’s longer and it includes some songs of this EP in different variations, among many other timeless classics.
All the songs here on are priceless. Simple, charming, with a certain folk appeal and pretty much the opposite of “brutal”, “heavy” or “massive”. Fave song? (I)mpossible to say. Well, “Wasted Life” always puts a smile on that face of mine, what a shameless BEATLES ripoff (“I feel fine”). “Sex Affair” is the band’s fastest song, a true rocker. And the sleeve is neat too, innit.
A box of these EPs surfaced in the mid 90s, but I haven’t seen it too often ever since.
I labelled this PeterPop although I know Peter doesn’t like the band. He should make up his mind.
More of this criminally underrated band can & should be found here.

Ha ha PeterPop indeed
. I bought this EP instantly after hearing them with Praise the lord and pass the ammunition on the Not So Quiet… comp. which I really really loved but I was VERY disappointed. Can still not get into it. But there seems to be a lot of people really loving this EP. Cheers and PLEEEASEE post more NAZI PUNK cause that shit rules!!
[Reply]
I wish I had more good nazi shit, Peter. Makes posting more worthwhile as itwould definitely fetch a hundred times as many encouraging comments as this one.

these guys are charming. my favorite is “business man” because it makes me feel better about being unemployed. at least i still close my eyes when i sneeze haha. thanks for the post mr erich.

Peter KBD just told me that he thinks it’s my “tyranny” that holds the readers back from commenting. The peope here love tough music and they’re afraid of me, so they don’t say a thing = no comments. Hahaha.
[Reply]
Let through the spams. That will generate a lot of comments!
[Reply]
This is the worst thing I’ve heard from here. Lukewarm music (and it’s not even because it’s “wimpier” than the normal postings) and obnoxiously preachy lyrics. Eh?
[Reply]
You really think so, Ryan? We’ve had plenty of “wimpy” stuff here before and stuff with lyrics that are way, way preachier than these. It’s onl a matter of taste, but I love this band a lot. The scarcity of comments however seems to say that I’m the only one. Makes it even better!

Erich I tried listening to this one and even tried a couple tunes twice. Maybe I just wasn’t in the mood and will have to give it a spin another time. I’m surprised because I’ve been in an experimental mood lately. Your description was perfect though, “Simple, charming, with a certain folk appeal and pretty much the opposite of “brutalâ€, “heavy†or “massiveâ€. No one can say they weren’t told what to expect. You also foretold the fact that you would not get the comments you did on the last post. Come one Erich, duh
Everytime I see them posted, from the comments, you’d think it was the first time your grandma saw a mohawk. If people have a problem with that they should do like they do. Get ten of your friends together and beat them up one at a time. Well I admire your sense of humor and ability not to take things personally (is there anything you do take personally?). Anyway I think I’ll give “Sex Affair” another spin. Thanx dude.

Well, I generally haven’t thought about whether the stuff you post is “wimpy” (hence the quotes). And maybe I’ve missed the preachier stuff, since generally in the past I just paid attention to the metal posts and some of the hardcore. Only recently did I really start to check out every post. And “Business Man” and “Don’t Listen to the Radio” had me rolling my eyes.

Have you heard the 7″ on Lost and Found. It came in a box set. It was recorded in 78′ and it’s fucking awesome! The best shit they ever did, though this pretty fucking good also. Wimpy? Umm.. What? It’s sounds like the later period Dils a bit, but recorded better. Good stuff.
[Reply]
I meant to say a couple of the songs sound like the later period Dils. I guess thats the wimpy ones, but they’re good also.
[Reply]
Yeah Mike, totally agree. That 7″ from the boxset is incredibly good, a bit meatier.

hi Erich,
this is somewhat out of topic, but…Do you have VICIOUS CIRCLE demo? I mean VICIOUS CIRCLE as pre-T.S.O.L. band…
[Reply]
Stinky, I still have my white face paint, but don’t have the demo.
[Reply]
jay, it´s pity
I hope Erich is more lucky 
[Reply]
Priceless? Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammo was a tolerable novelty on the MRR lp but this stuff is just corny and boring.
The pants model on Active Sandals.com (?!what) has a nice kissable belly.
[Reply]
Stinky: No, I don’t have that demo and I never have heard of it, unfortunately.
Yeah, kountchokula, that’s like your opinion.
[Reply]
Already have an love this. They can do no wrong (pre-reunion).
I asked on kbdrecords and now I’ll ask here, does anyone have their 3-song demo with the superior version of “This Is the Front line”?
[Reply]
you picked a bad time to post this. when it was first posted i was all into just hc and metal. now i’ve branched out a lot. this is great!
